To all whom it mag/ concern:

Be it known that I, BABRENT W. FnL'rnousnm of thelcity and county ofMilwaukee and State of Wisconsin, have invented -a new and usefulImprovement in Pumps; and I do hereby declare that the following is afull, clear, and exact description there- '.of,. which will enablethoseskilled in the art to many objections, such as'` the valvesgettingrusty,

and hard and rigid, and to provide for air being-conveyed to the' water'to be' pumped out of a vessel, so that the pump shall work easy-, andalso to provide for measuring the water in the vessel at any time. v

'A is the deck o'f a vessel, on vwhich the pump stands.

Y B is the water-space in the bottom ofthe pump.

C are the two cylinders, in which the valves and pump-rods work. j-

D is the air-chamber.

' E is the water-basin, which the waterfalls into when raised by thepump.

' I l, the brake, with which the rods andliftingn.rives are operated.

G, fulcrum, on which the brakes work. H H, lifting-valves rods.

I, a stopecock on top of air-chamber D, which has three openings in itssides, to let air into the air-chamber, when it is unscrewed.

K-K, the lifting-valves on the rods H H.

L, leather packing on valves K.

M, the lower or stationary valves.

N,copper bushingsbetween valves M' and the metal water-space B.

These bushings keep rust from coming in contact with the leather on thevalves, and thus keep the valves always pliable.

0, an air-chamber in the pipe below the water-space B, ihr the purposeof easing the water, when the pump is in motion.

P, the outside pipe below the water-space, forming.A

the air-chamber O,and.A for the conveyance of water to the pump.

Q, copper rings on the valves K. These copper rings rise above thevalves, and are inside of the leather packing L, and prevent the leatherpacking fromrv falling inward, and getting out of place.

R, inside pipe, which forms air-chamber O. S, bow-handles to valves M,to lift them ont of pince with.

T, outside pipe, running from the pump tothe bottom of the vessel.-In'the top of. this pipe are holes lefto'pen, which permit air to passdown To the water. v, U, cap on the topfof pipe T, screwed on, to co'vcrit up.

V, a measuring-rod, inside of pipe T, and connected to cap U at'thetop.l

y The cap U can be unscrewed, and the rod raised o ut of its position,and the depth ofthe water in the vessel can be determined.

- W1 Packing onl the'stop-cock-I.

. -X, brakes, with` which to work the pump. These yare not ou the model,but are necessary to work the pump.

Y,- outlet for the water toflow from reservoir E. Z, legs o f the pump.

Operation. Work the brakes X, and the water will be raised.

Whenever it is necessary for the water to be let out screw cap U andraise rod V, and the work is done.

Claims.

chamber O, pipe P, and'i'nsde pipe It, substantially .as

described.

2.l Pipe T, cap U, and. rod V, substantially as and for the purposedescribed.
